Postural Habits all Click Together - Habit of the Week, HOW

As we start to implement our postural habits, we don't need to remember them all.  Our habits all work together, so if we remember one of them, we are easily able to practice many. Let me illustrate:-

While we are walking
For example, if our head is stacked above our body, it is easy to spread our chest triangle.  While we are there with our head in an easy neutral position it is easy to look into the longer distance for our safety sake.
With our chest triangle open and lifted, it is easy to swing our arms or roll our shoulders up and  back and down. Delicious!

While we are sitting

Why not stack sit, nice and tall, with our "behind" behind us.  This allows us to easily, place the head directly over the body.  A simple shoulder rolls puts our arms in the correct place.  

These are familiar habits. You know them as well as I do.  These habits make our movement and sitting more efficient i.e. less energy wasted. Beautiful posture helps reduce stress and aches and pains.  Our posture assists us in breathing better, and digestion.

Let's put our posture habits to good use.
